Now that oops-tracing.rst has only information about
stack dumps found on OOPS, and bug-hunting.rst has only
information about how to identify the source code line
associated with a stack dump, let's merge them and
improve the information inside it.

The creation of the admin and process guides is a great thing, but, without
care, we risk replacing a messy docs directory with a few messy Sphinx
books. In an attempt to head that off and show what I'm thinking, here's a
set of tweaks that, I think, make the existing Sphinx-formatted docs a bit
more accessible.
It does no good to mention The 2.4 kernel series and neglect
USB 3.x and XHCI. Also with type C and micro/mini USB we better
not talk about the shape of connectors.

The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something
better than an unordered blob of files. This is a first step in that
direction. The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been
reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them.
One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use
:numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't
seem to be a way to change that. Eventually we probably want to group the
documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC,
but it's probably early to do that.

Merge Mauro's massive patch series creating the process and admin-guide
books. I think there's a lot of stuff to clean up here, but there's no
point in holding things up for that.
Mauro sez:
This patch series continues the efforts of converting the Linux Kernel
documentation to Sphinx.
It contains text to ReST conversion of several files under Documentation,
and a few ones under the main dir (README, REPORTING-BUGS).
All patches on this series can be found on my development tree:
https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=lkml-books-v2
The Kernel docs html output after this series can be seen at:

Probably, unicode is something that we might remove from the
docs, as all modern systems support it. Yet, this chapter
is fun, as it mentions support for the Klington fictional
charset ;)
On the other hand, I bet all other OS user manuals
explicit mention unicode support.
So, convert it to ReST and include it at the user's book.
